Took both door panels off as window rolled up 3/4 of the way. Was checking regulators when the cable wiring harness fell off and I have no idea how to reinstall it correctly.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

I don't have anything specific to just the cable. However, when replacing the regulator, the cables are involved. Here are the directions for removal of the regulator and cables. The directions show removal, but for install, it says it's the reverse of removal. So, you will need to follow the directions in reverse order. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.

I hope this helps.
